Hi there,

> I recently installed the updated version of CAVE beta release. Since 
> downloading the latest
> beta version, I have been getting this error message: How can i fix this? 

If you right-click on the latest CAVE shortcut that was installed on your 
desktop, you should 
have an option for "Edit".  If you click on that it should open a text editor.
Please delete the last line and add these two lines:

cd "%APPDATA%\UCAR Unidata\AWIPS CAVE"
start CAVE.exe

Then save the file, and then try launching cave again by double clicking.

You *may* also have to clear caveData if that doesn't work right away:

Please let us know if that helps.
Thanks.
